Puppies cute as little kittens,
Lambs as leapy as a frog
Make sweet pairs of baby mittens;
Soft seat covers for your bog.
Moo-cows full of grassy haystuff,
Pigs organic as a duck
Make a yummy springtime dinner
Into which you’ll yearn to tuck.
Animals so handy useful,
Give their bones to make your glue,
Sing to Jesus for their welfare,
For the joy they give to you.
Bits of goose will make a pillow,
Rabbits’ feet will bring you luck,
Moley skins are good as trousers,
Snake blood makes you want to fuck.
Take apart a little fluffy,
Let’s see what it’s got inside,
Something that will make a necktie
Or a bracelet for your bride?
Maybe they’ll be nice and meaty,
Maybe they’ll have magic powers
Shall we look inside your bunny?
Keeps the kids amused for hours.
Chop the legs right off your gerbil
Who knows what they’ll help you do
When you’re out of cats and doggies,
Make your way down to the zoo.
What’s the point of funny tigers?
They’d be better as a rug.
Bufo toads have bufo toad skins,
Di’n’t I read where there’s this drug?
Let’s dismantle little Skunky,
He’s so little, he won’t mind,
Skunky tails can keep off insects,
Who can guess what else we’ll find?
Could his flesh be used for dog food
In these dark, uncertain times?
If we slice him with a scalpel
We’ll find where he keeps his rhymes.

Dismantle you? Keep off insects? Do you know how nutritious insects are? Have you seen a frog feeling sick? No, my dear Skunky, nobody wants to slice you with a scalpel and you keep your rhymes where else? In your Rolls Royce's Cocktail Cabinet. But since you present yourself in a way that one could say "he wants to be exploited, like the rest of the animal kingdom, to prove something lyrically" I have a question: Can you lay raccoon eggs? I am hungry again. Just that!

I'm surprised you didn't manage to work a handbag in.
